NEWS & UPDATES

As 2025 wraps up, it’s hard to miss the global sustainability plot twists, shifting political positions, trade tensions, tariff chatter… the list goes on. But while politicians debate, revise, and occasionally reverse, one thing has become crystal clear:  Businesses aren’t waiting. They’re getting on with it. 

Transmission networks, renewable energy hubs, water recycling facilities , and resource recovery plants are rapidly becoming the defining features of Australia’s infrastructure pipeline. These projects are no longer “emerging trends”; they are becoming the backbone of a net-zero and climate-resilient future. But an important truth is often overlooked: Building more energy and water infrastructure does not automatically mean building sustainable infrastructure. 

Sustainability and climate risk aren’t “nice to have” anymore; they’re business fundamentals. Organisations across every sector are now expected to understand their climate-related risks, respond to regulation and weave ESG into everyday decision-making.  One qualification that genuinely enables this capability is the GARP Sustainability and Climate Risk (SCR®) Certification.
